1.0. Product Introduction
1.1. Introduction
Organic Response (OR) offers an intelligent wireless lighting control
solution. A solution that allows lighting to respond to the collection of
information directly coming from its environment and its neighboring light
fittings. As a result, an Occupancy Information Cloud is formed that always
delivers an optimal amount of light when and where needed.
1.2. Response SN3
We have sensor nodes at the core of this intelligent lighting control system.
These are fitted during luminaire manufacturing and are primarily integrated
into each luminaire. OR also offers detached nodes to allow customization
while delivering the same operational intelligence as an integrated version of
the sensor node. Each Sensor Node has a motion sensor, ambient light sensor,
infrared transmitter, and infrared receiver.
- Light and motion sensors collect direct information from their environment while
- IR transmitter & receiver allows each Sensor Node to communicate wirelessly with neighbors.
2.0. How Organic Response Works
In an OR installation, SN3 nodes implement wise lighting control decisions
from 2 key factors,
1. Information directly in its environment (presence & light level) 2.
Proximity-based presence information shared with neighboring nodes These
factors allow the nodes to make informed decisions on how much light is
required and where it is required. Some examples (illustration only) of how
information propagates between neighbors or how the system behaves seamlessly
to motion,
Figure 1 Proximity information shared with neighbours
Figure 2 Proximity information shared with neighbours (Top View)
As the occupants continue moving under different luminaires, the light levels
will adapt accordingly.
3.0. Operational Terminology (Plug’n’play)
Organic Response is a “plug & play” system requiring no configuration and
operates out of the box with default factory settings. These factory default
settings and how they contribute to the operations are detailed below.
3.1. Zone (Default ID 1)
Zones act as logical separations between how information is shared between
nodes in an area. All nodes come with a default zone 1. This allows them to
communicate with one another to share all occupancy & control information with
their neighboring nodes without any need to configure them.
3.2. Personality (Default Open Floor)
Personality is a setting of the Response SN3 that determines the dimming level
for various distances from the closest occupant in a zone. The dim levels for
open floor personality, which is the default mode for all Response SN3 are
shown as below;
LIGHT LEVELS (%)

STANDBY 0%
3.3. Operations
Some of the core default operations can be understood easily from the figure
showing the transition of,
1. Light output (along y-axis) against 2. Time (along x-axis) with 3.
Occupancy events shown at the top indicate the state of occupancy
Figure 4 Operational Depiction
In an out-of-box installation following the picture above, an occupancy
detection will trigger the below actions,
1. MAXLIGHT LEVEL Upon sensing occupancy from its own PIR, a ResponseSN3
would turn the light on at 100%, known as the default maxlight level. This
node will then trigger the open floor personality to come into effect for
neighboring nodes in zone 1 (as explained above).
2. DWELL TIME Luminaire would wait for 10 mins (called dwell time) at its
MaxLight level (100%) before dropping to a low light level after a space
becomes vacant.
3. LOWLIGHT LEVEL This low light level achieved after dwell time is a lower
safety level for occupancy and is 10% by default.
4. LOWLIGHT TIME Luminaire would wait for a further 10 mins (low light
time) at its LowLight level (10%) before going to the next level while the
space remains vacant.
5. MIN LIGHT Upon passage of 10 mins of no occupancy (lowlight time) lights
would turn off (0% light output) where default min light levels at 0%
In addition, some other default parameters which are shared above and
contribute to operations include,
1. DEFAULT COLOR TEMPERATURE – The default colour temperature is 4500K which
is maintained as long as luminaire outputs non-zero light level.
2. RESPONSE RADIO LIGHT OUTPUT Upon powering up a Response Radio it will
cause the connected luminaire to exhibit 100% light output and will continue
to
stay at 100% light output at all times unless further configured. 3. RESPONSE
RADIO COLOR TEMPERATURE A Response Radio that will have the
tunable white luminaires will preset to 4000K colour temperature in addition
to
100% light output unless configured further.
4.0. OR Smart Phone Application
4.1. Response App The Response App is free to download from the Apple App
Store (click here) and Google Play Store (click here) and includes contextual
help and FAQ’s. This app uses your smartphone’s Bluetooth device to
communicate with a nearby sensor node.
Please skip the below step if you are already a configurator and head over to
node selection If you are using the application for the first time, please
navigate as shown below to upgrade your access to a configurator,
1. Login using one of the available options and follow the on-screen prompts
2. Click on “Upgrade to Configurator “highlighted (greed) & contact your
luminaire manufacturer to approve your access.
Figure 5 Upgrade to Configurator
4.2. Node Selection Response App Since the Response App uses Bluetooth on your
device, there can be several nodes in your vicinity from which to select. A
nearby node with the highest signal strength (RSSI) is automatically selected
as soon as you click on configure SN3 or Passive Node.
4.2.1. How to select a ResponseSN3 and What to Expect
1. Click on Configure SN3.
2. Look for the Response SN3, which has a red dome (as highlighted in the
figure).
3. If it’s not the intended node, click dismiss as you bring your device
closer to the node you wish to select.
Figure 6 Node Selection
You can also blink the luminaire in step 2 for a visual aid.
4.2.2. How to select a Response Radio and what to expect
1. Click Configure Passive Node.
2. The respective publisher SN3 luminaire will blink once, or you may click
the Blink Luminaire button to confirm if you are connected with the right
response radio.
3. Click dismiss node if it’s not the intended node.
4. Press the Configuration tab to configure the connected Response Radio.
You can have the “Auto Blink” selected for visual aid.
4.3. Organic Response IR App
An older version of the application, also available in the Apple and Play
Store, uses an additional component (IR Dongle) to communicate with the nodes.
This version of the app is no longer under development, which means that some
of the new features can only be found in the Express app. If you are using
this version of the app, please head over to the detailed version of the User
Guide to see the navigation steps for the relevant feature configuration.
4.3.1. IR Dongle
The Infrared (IR) Dongle, when plugged into a compatible iOS or Android
device, enables users to communicate with Organic Response-enabled light
fittings by using the Organic Response IR App. The dongle uses a 3.5 mm audio
jack to convert audio signals from the app to IR signals that sensor nodes
recognize. The IR dongle is intentionally directional and must be aimed
directly at the sensor node you wish to communicate with.
5.0. Features & Configuration
5.1. Light Output
5.1.1. Introduction
This feature enables you to,
1. Read and change the current light output level (Temporary dimming) 2.
Change the default Max, Low, and Min light values for auto operation. 3. Set
the desired color temperature (CT) temporarily or change it for default
operations.
5.1.2. Simple Steps to Configure (Response App)
5.1.2.1. Temporary Dimming:
Upon node selection
1. Toggle the relay on for the whole zone or off for selected nodes only.
2. Press the + or – button or use the sliding bar to adjust the light output
percentage.
3. Press the Query button to read the current light output value.
5.1.2.2. Temporary Color Temperature:
Upon node selection
1. Toggle the relay on for the whole zone or off for the selected node only.
2. Press a Warmer or Cooler button or use the sliding bar to set a desired
color temperature (from warmer to cooler)
3. Press the Query button to read the current CT.
5.1.2.3. Auto Operation (Light/Colour Temp):
Setting default light output (max, min & low) or default color temperature has
the same steps with very minor variation i.e. Upon node selection
1. Toggle the relay on for the whole zone or off for selected nodes only
2. Follow the Temporary Dimming steps above to choose a desired light output
level (e.g., using a sliding bar) or the Temporary Color Temperature steps
above to choose a colour temperature.
3. Now click on the relevant option (“Set Max”/”Set Default CT”) to set it as
the new default.
Step 3 of “set max” changes max light and, when replaced with “Set Low” or
“Set Min, ” configures Lowlight & Minlight.
5.2. Zones 5.2.1. Introduction Zoning allows Response sensor nodes to decide
if they need to act on the control & occupancy messages they receive over IR
from their neighbors. If the neighbors (sender and receiver) have the same
zone ID, they share the occupancy-level messages and act collectively.
The system allows configuring the Response Sensor Nodes to 12 unique zone IDs.
Consider zoning each application area separately to enhance energy efficiency,
e.g., a kitchen area next to the corridor can be zoned separately to allow
lights to stay off in the kitchen while unoccupied. By default, different
zones don’t share information. We can configure Response Sensor Nodes to share
the following type of messages from/with other zones (collectively) called
zone stitching,
1. Respond to occupancy from another zone and 2. Forward
control/configuration messages for a different zone
5.2.2. How to Zone Select a node and
1. Click the respective zone button to assign the node to a specific zone ID.
The relay option cannot be used for zoning.
Always remember to press the Save Settings button before you exit this page in
case you want to store this setting.
5.2.3. Zone Stitching
5.2.3.1 Respond To Allows a node in a different zone to receive and respond to
occupancy messages from neighboring nodes in a different zone. Upon node
selection
1. Toggle the relay on for the whole zone or off for the selected node only.
2. Select a zone (e.g., Zone 1). 3. Press the Respond button. 4. Press the
Ignore’ button while zone 1 is selected to undo. 5.2.3.2 Forward Messages For Allow any node to forward configuration and control messages of a particular zone from and to its neighboring nodes even when it doesn’t belong to that specific zone. Upon node selection 1\. Toggle the relay on for the whole zone or off for the selected node only. 2\. Select a zone (e.g., Zone 1). 3. Press the Forward button. 4. Press the don’t forward’ button while
zone 1 is selected to undo.
The default for all Response Sensor Nodes is zone 1
5.3. Personality
5.3.1. Introduction
The personality determines how much light output a luminaire should exhibit
based upon its distance from other luminaires in its zone that detected
occupancy.
The distance from occupancy is measured in the number of luminaires, and the
light output levels are predetermined relative to their maxlight light values.
There are a total of 13 personalities, each with their defined output levels
and profiles.
5.3.2. Choose Personality
The default personality is “Open Floor.”
Upon node selection
1. Toggle the relay on for the whole zone or off for the selected node only.
2. Click on any personality profile you choose for a node or whole zone.
5.4. Dwell Time
5.4.1. Introduction
Dwell Time is the time it takes for a luminaire to dim from its MaxLight to
its Lowlight state. Lowlight time is the length of time a luminaire remains in
its LowLight state before switching off (MinLight) completely.
5.4.2. How to Configure Dwell/Lowlight Time
The steps are similar for configuring both times, Upon node selection
1. Toggle the relay on for the whole zone or off for selected nodes only.
2. Select a Dwell/Lowlight Time in minutes/seconds.
3. Press the Query button to read the current Dwell Time.
Figure 7 Dwell Time
Figure 8 Lowlight Time
The default Dwell Time and LowLight time is 10 minutes each
5.5. Daylight Dimming
5.5.1. Introduction
This feature allows us to utilize external daylight coming into the space and
reduce the light output of any luminaire to enhance energy efficiency.
5. You can either enable or disable daylight dimming with existing
calibration or 6. Manually calibrate and enable daylight dimming by adjusting
the light output of
a luminaire.
5.5.2. Configuration
By default, daylight dimming is disabled for all the nodes.
We recommend if this is your first time enabling daylight dimming, consider
reading the detailed user guide for further guidelines.
5.5.2.1. Enable/Disable with Current Calibration
Upon node selection
1. Toggle the relay on for the whole zone or off for the selected node only.
2. Press Enable to enable daylight dimming. or 3. Press Disable to disable
daylight dimming. 4. Press Query to get the current status.
5.5.2.2. Calibrate & Enable (recommended)
5. Dim a luminaire to the desired output by following the temporary dimming
shared earlier.
6. Now click on “Calibrate and Enable”.
Allow 3 seconds to move out of the field of view before it takes a light
reading and calibrates the Response Sensor Node for this light level. If you
are enabling this feature for the first time, we recommend doing this for each
luminaire separately.
5.6. Scene 5.6.1. Introduction This feature enables selected luminaires to
ignore occupancy and auto operation parameters and adopt a constant light
output and color temperature for a specific period or until scene exit
conditions are met. Eight scenes can be configured and customized to different
parameters.
How to identify: If a sensor node is in a scene its green LED will blink
continuously as opposed to blinking in response to an occupancy. 5.6.2. Scene
Configuration Upon node selection
1. Toggle the relay on for the whole zone or off for selected nodes only 2.
Select the desired scene number from the drop-down menu 3. Choose a desired
scene dimming level (Dim +/- button or Slider) 4. Click save to scene under
scene dimming 5. Choose the desired Color Temperature (using Warmer/Cooler,
Slider, or level from the list) 6. Click save to scene under color temperature
7. Choose the desired Scene Exit condition 8. Save settings to store all
configurations for this scene
Note that the nodes will only revert to responding to occupancy and ambient
light once they exit the scene or when you select the “Revert to Auto Mode”
button on the ResponseApp to exit the scene and return the lights to normal
operation. The detailed user guide contains each scene’s default light levels
and exit conditions.
5.7. EnOcean Node Interface
5.7.1. Introduction
EnOcean wall switches allow you to apply manual switch control in an area.
Depending on the configuration, EnOcean switches can be configured to control
either a single luminaire or a group of luminaires. The wall switches can be
configured through the app using your smart devices’ NFC. See an illustration
on the right,
The location of the NFC module could vary for mobiles. You can move your
device while trying to configure it to find the best alignment for your
smartphone.
5.7.2. Switch ID pairing
In firmware version 181 or higher, this feature allows you to pair nodes with
a switch and control the paired nodes or the zone of paired nodes. The
operation in this mode requires the configuration of both the switch (Step 1)
and the node (Step 2) to be paired.
5.7.2.1. Step 1: ID Paired EnOcean Switch Configuration
1. Click on Switch ID Pairing if greyed out. 2. Select relevant assembly 2
or 4 buttons 3. Press on each “+” to choose a function 4. Press “Configure” &
hold your phone, touching
its back to the EnOcean switch as shown above
1-to-1 Pair option when left unchecked allows the nodes configured in step 2
below to share control with other nodes in its zone using IR. If you wish the
control is applied to work only for nodes paired then check this option before
configuring your switch.
5.7.2.2. Step 2: ID Paired Response Sensor Node Configuration To pair the
Response sensor nodes with the switch configured in Step 1, you can use either
of the two options below.
Option 1: Node Selection & NFC Upon node selection
1. Click “Pair with NFC” and hold your phone, touching its back to the
EnOcean switch from step 1. This allows the Response App to share and save the
switch’s ID with the selected node.
2. Click “Unpair with NFC” and hold the EnOcean switch closer to the device.
If the switch address is known, click unpair next to it.
Option 2: Node selection & Switch Buttons Upon node selection
1. Click “Prepare to Pair” and press any of the buttons 3 or more times on
the switch configured in step 1.
2. Click on “Prepare to Unpair” and click any of the buttons 3 times on the
EnOcean switch
Switch ID Pairing is the default recommended mode of operation.
5.7.3. Query / Edit Switch ID Pairing
Upon node selection
1. Click “Query” to see paired EnOcean Switch IDs
2. Click “Reset to Default” to remove all pairings
3. Click “Configure switch” to navigate to EnOcean Switch configuration
without going to the main menu
(The ID shown can be found on the back of your switch or by reading a switch)
Please note this option is only available in Response App for Response sensor
nodes with firmware versions 188 or higher.
5.7.4. Zone pairing
This feature allows the switch to be paired to a zone ID and control the whole
zone. The operation in this mode only requires the configuration of an EnOcean
switch.
1. Click on “Zone Pairing” 2. Select switch assembly “2 or 4
buttons” 3. Press “+” on each button to choose a
function 4. Press on “Select Zone” to assign a Zone
ID 5. Press “Configure” & hold your phone,
touching its back to the EnOcean switch
5.8. Channel Link
5.8.1. Introduction
This feature enables the possibility of sharing occupancy & control data
between Response Sensor nodes outside the typical infrared communication
distances using the Wirepas RF Mesh. All Response Sensor nodes, by default,
automatically become part of this Mesh that can act as a highway to carry
targeted messages from a transmitting Response Sensor node to the desired
receiving Response Sensor Node(s). Without configuration, messages are not
shared over Wirepas; however, when configured for the same channel link ID,
the message can be shared in the entire building network.
Each node can be assigned to a maximum of 6 different channels simultaneously,
and the system supports 65,000 available channel IDs.
Please note that this feature is only supported by Stack 5 Response Sensor
nodes with firmware version 188 or above. Please do not use this feature to
share messages across the whole network, and care must be taken when enabling
channel links to only apply it where required.
Important Recommendation: You must plan for the groups you wish to use in the
building. Even if the nodes exist several floors apart, they can still see
messages from faraway floors when there are 20 floors in between them.
Therefore we recommend planning ahead and documenting the groups that you will
be using in a single building/network. To avoid any unnecessary overreach or
over-sharing.
5.8.2. How to Create or Join a Channel Link
Upon node selection
1. Press Query 2. Enter the Channel Link ID/number. 3. Toggle Transmission
and Reception for
the node to transmit/receive or do both on this ID. 4. Press “Join” to allow
this node to transmit or receive on this channel link. 5. Press the Query
button to verify the Channel Link IDs assigned to the selected node.
5.8.3. How to Edit/Remove Channel Link
Upon node selection
1. Click on Channel link IDs to select it, e.g., click on 122. This will open
a popup window with the current transmission and reception settings.
2. Toggle Transmission/Reception or both to set nodes as transmitter/receptor
or both for the channel.
3. Click “Apply” to apply the settings 4. Click on “Delete” to delete this
Channel
Link
Please note that the firmware version of the Response Radio must be 188 PIC
and 23 Nordic or higher. The Response Radio can be configured through RESPONSE
APP ONLY.
Please Plan Ahead for Success: You must plan ahead & prepare for the
configuration of pub-sub groups. Document what you are going to use in the
building. Use as-builts and mark pub-sub group IDs to be used on different
floors since 1. Response Radios are usually installed hidden behind a ceiling
& 2. The message of a publisher is shared throughout the network, i.e., with
all the nodes in the building.
5.9. Response Radio
5.9.1. Introduction
A Response Radio doesn’t carry any sensing capabilities of its own. It relies
on a publishing Response sensor node to provide control commands for
subscriber nodes. This generates a publisher-subscriber link between “a
publishing Response sensor node” & “one or many subscribing nodes,” a.k.a pub-
sub group.
There are 32,000 available pub-sub group IDs/numbers supported by the system.
5.9.2. Configuration
Response Radio configuration is a 2-step process: step 1 Publisher & step 2
Subscriber
5.9.2.1. Step 1: Configure Publisher
(On Response SN3)
Upon node selection
1. Enter the intended group ID 2. Click apply. 3. Press Query to query the
currently
configured groups for a publisher Response sensor node. 4. Save settings
5.9.2.2. Step 2: Configure Subscriber
(On Response Radio)
1. Select the option “Configure Response Radio” from the main menu
Upon Response, Radio selection 2. Enter the intended group ID. 3. Click Apply.
4. Press Query to query the currently configured subscriber group ID. 5. Save
settings if necessary.
A few key notes 1. If the Response Radio is already assigned to a group, it
will indicate the existing group ID in Step 2. 2. To easily identify, use the
blink luminaires feature (click here). 3. By default, a Response Radio will
always keep connected luminaires at static 100% light output and 4000K color
temperature (if tunable white).
Note!
The relay is not going to be usable as the configuration of Publisher and
Subscriber both require RF communication. Therefore, as soon as you click on
relay in either of these menus all the options will be automatically greyed
out rendering all buttons unusable.
5.10. Additional Features
5.10.1. Absence Detection
This feature enables luminaires to turn off when unoccupied as they usually
would but does not automatically switch them on upon seeing occupancy. Absence
Detection should always be used where you can manually send an On/Auto
command, such as from an EnOcean switch or through the app. The below image
shows how to enable/disable absence detection using the Response App.
Absence Detection is disabled by default
Upon node selection
1. Toggle the Relay on for the whole zone or off for selected nodes only.
2. Press Enable to activate absence detection.
3. Press Disable to deactivate absence detection.
4. Press Query to read the present configuration
5.10.2. Response Sensor Node Settings
Previously stored settings will always be overwritten when you press save
settings if you are unhappy with the recent changes.
1. You can recall the previously saved Response sensor node setting without
saving new changes.
2. If you have saved them and would like to start from scratch, you can
perform a factory default reset.
To recall settings for a node,
Upon node selection
1. Toggle “Relay” on for the whole zone or off for the selected node only.
2. Use Recall Settings to revert to the last stored point.
3. Press Recall Factory Settings to restore the configurations back to
factory settings.
5.10.3. Infrared Transmission
Sometimes, in an installation, the IR transmission is unable to reach long
distances due to the environment or poor reflective surfaces. To compensate
for such circumstances to some extent, we can increase Response Sensor Nodes’
infrared transmission power %.
When there is poor communication between response sensor nodes, a transmission
test can be carried out. A Transmission Test is done to test the quality of
the communication from one Response Sensor Node to its neighbors
(communication that is critically important for effective Organic Response
lighting control).
IR Transmission is 30% by default
To perform the test and increase transmission power
Upon node selection
1. Press the Transmission Test to test the IR signal. Please count that
neighboring Response sensor nodes blink their red dome & count a. 27 to 30
times = pass (skip next steps) b. If less than 27, increase the power
2. (Optional) Toggle Relay on for the whole zone or off for selected node
only
3. Press any percentage higher than 30 to increase transmission power from
its default level and try step 1 again.
Please remember to press Save Settings.
